IDA Enhances Number Portability Regime To Benefit Consumers

IDA Press Release

After IDA's recent clampdown on unsolicited SMS charges, together with an open letter (PDF) to the 3 telcos, clarifying on the issue of billing complaints and disputes, they seem to have earned another feather in the cap by annoucing the move towards a true number portability regime. consumerW supports this initiative, which will enable consumers to choose the best mobilephone subscription deal without having to change telephone numbers.
